The Actress stupid Husband.

The stupid husband Of the talented ac-
tress must not be forgotten. He, of all
such husbands. Is the most difficult TO
manage. One-half of his wife's life is oc-
cupied in correcting the silly blunders he
hourly perpetrates. Her lord and master
will in one day do more injury to her and
to her interests than she can rectify in
months. The saddest phase OF this mat
rimonial alliance is that his ofIicious err
rors arise from genuine and intense admi-
ration Of her talents, and from inOrinate
pride in belonging, even us a husband, to
her retinue. 1t is vain for her to beg
him to moderate his zeal, which urges
him to interfere with her business. but,
rs she really loves him. her solicitations
are feebly uttered, and her forgiveness for
his errors is easily obtained. He is full Of
promises, so full, indeed. that he has no
room for performance Of them. SO as fast
as one fault is condoned another is COM
mitted, and thus the story of error and
forgiveness goes on to the end. When
old age comes upon this pair it finds them
full of quiet respect and decent love for
each other, but with n very moderate for
tune whereon to live TO the close of life

A Prophecy Of Evil.

Germany is now discussing the authen.
ticity of Il prophecy attributed to a friar
In a Bavariau convent, who lived in the
Seventeenth century, rs it completely
foreshadowed the strange complication o!
evils with which Germany is now threat
ened. The effect Of the prophecy is al
legged TO be that Hohenzollern prince
would unite all the German states under
one crown; that he would live to be 96;
that he would be predeccased by his son,
and that the successor to the throne
would have the use Of but one hand. Ac-
cortling 10 his prophecy the emperor
would have still five years to live, and the
doctors say it rs possible the crown prince
may live for four. As to the rest, Prince
William has had a shrivelled arm from
his birth. II is said that documentary
proof OF this remarkable va.icination can
be produced but it is not stated that any
one has seen it.--New York Tribune

FARMING IN JAPAN.
What Chicaso's Distinguished Ex-Asvse
HAa Seen Among Almond Eyed People.

What ChicaSO's Distinguished EI-MavoR
Has Seen Among Almond Eyed People.
Carter Harrison, the distinguished ex-
mayor of Chicago, is travelling in the east
and writing letters To ons OF his home
papers. He has been studying Japanese
farming, and tells what he Knows about
1t. He says everything there is carried
on on a very small scale, and with such
wonderful niceness that it Is difficult to
realize that farming Is the business Of .
life and very earnest and hard one At
that. There are no barns or Outhouses
in which TO store crops. There are no
farm houses. The people live in villages
or in towns. Some Of the farms are not
even one acre in size, and very few con-
tain more than ten acres.
The notable feature OF these Japanese
farms is the irrigating ditch. A farm Of
two or three acres usually has half .
dozen levels, and the water that irrigates
one field runs down to irrigate another
The farms have the appearance Of Ameri-
can market gardens. The soil is dry and
thoroughly prepared. The plow Is used
only for throwing up the beds. and all tho
digging is done with spadelike hoes and
forks. No weeds whatever are allowed
to grow in the little fields, and every foot
Of ground is utilized
The Japanese farmer takes every ad-
vantage of the season and practices true
economy. One crop succeeds another
with unyarying regularity, and the bene-
fits of rotation are thoroughly understood
and realized. While one crop is ripening
another one is planted between the rows.
and this practice is carried on even in the
tea plantations. When the tea plants are
small turnips and other crops are planted
between the rows as soon AZ the July
plucking is completed.
The management of the Japanese farm
ers is so thoroughly scientific that lands
which have been in cultivation for centu-
ries continue TO produce marrelously large
crops. It is said that Buddhism has dis
couraSed the growth of animals within the
limits of the empire, and, rs result, there
are not 2,OG0, 900 OF horned cattle in tho
country, though the grasses on the hills
would feed millions. Tho acorns and nuts
In the forests would feed millions Of hogs.
but there are no hogs in Japan. There
are no stsrvelings in Japan, Mr.. Harri-
son declares. 1.-The children are as fat
and jolly as little curly tailed pigs; the
young lads and girls give no evidence OF
not having enough to eat. They are all
rounded in form and lithein action, and
the men and boys are capable Of enduring
active labor and fatigue as few others can
do. They are possibly not as muscular as
our meat eating men, but not a day
passes tbatI do no. see some man whose
muscular development is source Of adj
miration, and Others whose powers OF en-.
durance are simply marvellous. "-Atlanta
